Drug Abuse

Question by gabster341: is this a good “Stop Animal Abuse” paper?
I had to write a persuasive essay for school. If you abused animals, would this make you consider stopping? (sorry its long)

Thousands of animals, pets usually, are abused a day. Tens and thousands of cats and dogs are kicked, hit, abused, and for what? Nothing. Animals were put on earth to be loved and to love in return. Whatever happened to the saying ‘Man’s best friend’? Most ‘humans’ who abuse animals do it to take out their anger. Plenty of people these days are running low on money. Some are having friends and family problems. And instead of doing something productive to help those problems, people go and take it out on their trusting pets.
Other times people abuse animals for control. You can’t control a human as much as you can to a dog or cat. If you kick or hurt another human out of control, you can get sued. But if it’s your own pet, who are they going to tell? No one. Some people these days even get pets, just to feel in control. No longer are pets bought to be a loving companion, but a living thing to control and beat. They need to feel power, because they think they deserve to have power and to be respected. But people who sink down to that level deserve nothing, absolutely not a pet.
Most people who abuse animals are adults, males most often, but some are kids. Kids in their teenage year whose life’s are unfulfilled and they think they deserve more. They abuse these animals early on, and it doesn’t go away as they get older; it gets worse.
In 1997, a study proved that 40% of animal abusers had also harmed people, too. Some of those were husbands, who also abused their wives and even killed some of her pets.
Not only are pets abused, but so are such animals as circus animals. Elephants are often fun and exciting to watch at circuses to some, as they perform exotic stunts. Onstage, they get treated well, to impress the audience. But when the curtains close, the animals are no longer treated well. Most elephants are chained 23 hours in a day from the time they are babies. Imagine a life in chains, with only an hour to relax. And that hour may be of performing. Also, those tricks aren’t learned by treats and being told ‘Good job!’. Often times, those animals are forced to learn their routines by being poked, prodded, and even sometimes burned to do their stunts and remember them.
People abuse their pets, expecting them not to do anything. And they don’t. Some ‘lucky’ abused ones get abused, then they get put in the pound for some nice family to pick them. Or not. But I would think anything would be better than living a live of fear of your owner and pain. My grandma got a dog from the pound. She got him when he was just a puppy, and nobody knew much about his previous owners, which is what happens with most animals abused and put in the pound. After taking him home she noticed that he got real iffy about feet. He wont let anyone lay a foot on him, not even a toe. He lets people pet him and scratch him, but if it has feet involved, he starts growling. We think his previous owner would kick him, and push him with their feet, because he wont let feet anywhere near him; and my grandma noticed this right away.
Animal abuse is wrong. The people who do it, don’t deserve to be called a human. People may think ‘Oh, it’s just an animal. They don’t have feelings so I’m not doing anything bad.’, but their wrong. Animals do have feelings, and inside their just like us. They are living, breathing things, just like us. They have feelings, and brains to comprehend most of what’s going on. Sure, their not as smart as us, and they cant talk to say “Hey stop that!”, but they do know when they are hurt.
Some places animal abuse is getting better, but some it’s getting worse. Its nice to see that some people are getting smart and feeling it in their heart to be nice to animals, and I hope with all my heart that every abuser realizes sometime that what they did is wrong so we can all once and for all stop unneeded animal cruelty.

It depends on what grade you are in. I’d say this should pass for sixth grade work, nothing more.
